West Ham United are delighted to confirm the permanent signing of France international Estelle Cascarino, who has returned to east London on a three-year contract from Juventus.
After making a big impact during a loan spell in the second half of the 2025/26 season, the experienced defender has committed her future to the Club. Cascarino featured 12 times in all competitions, helping the Hammers keep four clean sheets and playing a key role in the team's strong finish to the Barclays Women's Super League campaign.
Her impressive performances, including a Player of the Match display in a 1-0 win at Liverpool, also earned her a return to the France squad for the first time in 15 months.
Speaking after completing her move, Cascarino said: "I feel really happy to be back at West Ham United. I made my decision quickly that I wanted to be back here permanently. From the beginning, this Club has felt like home, and I enjoyed every minute of my time here last season."
Head Coach Rita Guarino added: "We're really pleased that Estelle has extended her stay with us. Her impact when she arrived in January was crucial, and her experience and quality will be important as we continue to move forward."
Having previously won the Serie A title, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana with Juventus, Cascarino now returns to the Hammers full-time, ready for a new chapter in Claret and Blue.
